Good Wife Crew Spotted on Vanderbilt Avenue

Elizabeth HagenWe spotted a film crew hanging around Queen of All Saints School this week.

Have you noticed a film crew shooting in and around Queen of All Saints Church for the past few days? The church confirmed that the CBS crime drama“The Good Wife” was filming for an upcoming episode. The show stars Julianna Margulies as the wife of a politician busted for corruption and a sex scandal, who has returned to her former career as an attorney in New York City Chicago. Can any local fans of the show hazard a guess as to what kind of scene was filmed at the church? Maybe a wedding, or a funeral?

Elizabeth has lived in and around the Fort Greene and Clinton Hill area for eight years, since moving to New York City from Kahalu’u, Hawaii. She is a recent graduate of the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, where she focused on multimedia journalism.
